LOL You guys are having "Too Much Fun!"
Where exactly do you guys buy your paint brushes; they seem to do so much better work than mine.
Matt and Nigel. You guys are having way too much fun. I might need to check your fun ration card....LOL

The 'Smooth' guy's got a secret stash near Stewart, now quick! Give a hand with the cammo nets and tarpaulins...
They's all milling around like hornets for a drop...
Get it posted up in an hour or so...
Watch out for Romeo Delta and Bravo Bravo686...they've caught a whiff, ...and we've got work to get down for the big party.

caught a whiff? i only have to get a tiny hint of that scent and i'm there.... for celebrating it's neat, for 'casual' drinking a shot of water is needed....
back to my paint hangar and construction yard! "It's that way ya bally idiot" -->
Avia 56 Protype - Shortly after concluding design work for the Avia 51, Robert Nebesar and team started work on a single-engine high-wing commercial monoplane designated Av-56. It was to be powered by a 600 HP (441kW) Avia Rr-29 nine-cylinder radial engine. However, problems with that engine required reworking the aircraft design to use the liquid-cooled, inline Avia Hispano Suiza 12 Ybrs engine. So the type Av-156 was born and a prototype built.
This simulation model is the Avia 56 that did not get built, but you get to fly this beautiful aircraft in four configurations - wheels, floats, amphibs, and skis - with some of the best sounds and textures to grace your FS9 sim.
Here are some WIP shots. I hope that Nigel doesn't mind. :-)
EDIT: And this is just a peek; there are more ... :-)
Have trade coming your way Matt, eyes 12 on your email inbox.

A superb rendition by Mr. Shupe and team, as always. Reminds one slightly of a Lockheed Vega . . .
The Avia 56 and paint schemes look wonderful. Great work guys.
Thanks
A few more ...

With the Avia 56 coming around the 3-4 turns, I am back doing the "heavy lifting" on the Avia 57, the last in the Avia Projects series.
The Av-57 was to be a 14 passenger, 2 pilot commercial aircraft built to compete for traffic with the DC-2 in the mid-30's. This was the last of the Robert Nebesar designs as far as we can determine. The prototype was constructed and had 27 test flights performing well in all tests as did the Avia 156 with 30 flights.
However, all hope for the two prototypes ended fatally April 15, 1935. Both prototypes took off for test flights, one after the other, and somewhere north of Kbely airport, the tragic event took place. First, the 156 lost part of a wing, then the tail, and in a spin lost the balance of the wing crashing near the village of Polerady. Within 7 minutes the Avia 57 fell to the ground after the wing and tail separated in a spin. All pilots and technicians aboard lost their lives. As no one witnessed the event, the most likely cause was a mid-air collision.
The loss of the prototypes and the investigation that followed questioning the structural integrity of the designs threw a shadow over the Avia company and the design team of Dr. Ing. Nebesar.
This beautiful Avia 57 aircraft will fly again in FS9 along with the Av-51, Av-156, and the Av-56 in honor of the Avia Company and Dr. Ing. Nebesar.
looks great! nice art deco styling....
might build an Avia Hangar to store these beauties in.... keep it classical modern/Art Deco with the Avia Logo on... would look good i think.... will see how we go, then theres the headache of "Where do we put the bally thing"
An alternative floor panel for the float/amphib versions of the Avia 51 - hopefully gives it more of the cargo hauler/bush flyer feel:

The bmp was edited from another floor panel bmp from Milton's D18. If anyone is interested, and it's OK with Milton, I'll happily put this up.

Please find below a zip containing the alternative bmp.
